Gilchrist asserted that Dhoni is the holy grail because he doesn't do interviews.


"Well, but the thing about MS. I think he is absolutely the holy grail because he just doesn't do interviews. And never and haven't done press. Didn't do it when he was playing. No, just a blanket no," Gilchrist said in Club Prairie Fire Podcast.

Gilchrist also stated that no one knows what Dhoni's got in his tank.

"And what about the other day, no one was really sure what he's got left in the tank and didn't bat in the first couple of games. All being in a losing cause pulled the trigger. Turned the clock back," Gilchrist added.

Michael Vaughan, former England captain also expressed on Dhoni's cameo against Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals. Facing just 16 deliveries, Dhoni accumulated 37 runs. His knock was laced with 4 fours and 3 sixes.

"37 off 16, there's only I reckon maybe only one sportsperson in the globe that's team could lose and on the opposition was a young fella called Rishabh Pant who has made a remarkable comeback and it's great to see him playing. But to see him playing so well and see him play the way he did and his team was the winning side and he was the captain, yet all the talk was about MS's 37 off 16 balls," Vaughan said in the podcast.

The five-time champions are currently in third position in the IPL 2024 points table, with four points in three matches in the cash-rich league. After the three matches, the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side has a net run rate of +0.976.
